Help the Children

OVER 100,000 children across Jamaica seen by a medical practitioner have been diagnosed with varying degrees of mental-health problems, according to lead child psychiatrist in The Ministry of Health, Dr Ganesh Shetty. More than half of the children assessed are severely ill, he revealed. Some of the mentalproblems affecting them are bipolar disorder, phobic disorder, suicidal tendencies, mental retardation, impaired social interaction and anxiety disorder...He said that, If we don't help these youth now we may live to regret it later, as they may grow up to prey on society, turning to a life of crime, drug addiction, teen pregnancy or prostitution."
